The 2013 Annual Meeting of District 67 APT will be held from 9:00am-11:00a.m. on March 13, 2013 at Gorton Community Center, 400 E. Illinois.  

The Annual Meeting is open to the entire community and features a keynote address by author, filmmaker, and long-time NPR contributor, Amy Krouse Rosenthal.  According to the New York Times, Amy's award-winning children's books "radiate fun the way tulips radiate spring: they are elegant and spirit-lifting."  Her children's books include Little Pea, Wumbers, Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons, and Plant a Kiss. Her adult work, Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, was named one of the top 10 memoirs of the decade by Amazon.  A selection of her books, including the highly anticipated Exclamation Mark will be available for purchase. 

Admission to the Annual Meeting is complimentary and all members of the public are welcome to attend.  The schedule of events also includes the introduction and election of the candidates for 2013-2015 Executive Board: APT Executive Board President; APT Executive Board Treasurer; APT Executive Board Communications Secretary; APT President, Deer Path Middle School; and APT President, Everett School. For more information on the nominees, please visit the district or APT websites for full biographies and photos. Voting is open to all dues paying APT members.
